Aimless Prose

How many is a hundred words? What does it look like? Where does it go? When does it stop? How does it feel? How does it sound? Does it resound? Does it abound? Will it be here when I come back? Or will it have moved on to better places and kinder spaces? If that is the case, I have much to learn and plenty from it to gain. For only fools are blind to their mistake...

Renaissance Woman

I have thought long and hard on the subject and decided that I do want to be a renaissance women, I want to do a little but of it all without having to fit into the norm that everyone wants me too. While reading lots of posts on Etsy and joining live events in the virtual labs. There is plenty of good advice to go around with 80% of that advice being that you should find one niche and stick with it. I find this hard and limiting. Maybe I want my niche to be that I have a little of everything. This may come back to bite me in the ass but I guess that is just something I will have to deal with when I come to it. So with...

Wonder No More

Wondering where I've been? Maybe? Probably not, but just in case you have... I have been knitting and wining and schooling it up. My main bit of news is that I have sold my camera! Before you say "Oh No!", let me tell you why. The camera I had was good for some point and shoot action or for someone who generally doesn't know much about cameras. It was a point and shoot and I didn't like how limited it was. So I went digging and fell in love with a Canon PowerShot SX20IS that I am stoked about ordering with some of my tax return money....

Spring!

Yay for Spring! The past few days have been just gorgeous. We have had the windows and the screen door open so we get a nice cross breeze through the house. Baby girl has loved it and spent hours in the backyard with bubble makers and digging in the dirt. Which is perfect because i can see most of all the back yard from here at the dining room table while i work on school work. Today we found this cute little lady. You can't tell much in this picture but I am pretty sure its pregnant. Looking straight down on it, it's belly was about...

Not My Tuesday Morning Cup of Tea

Let me preface this with saying that I have never been to a Tuesday Morning before. I remember all those commercials that they ran a couple years ago. They really touted the quality of the store. There wasn't one here until about 6 months ago I think maybe a little longer. I have recently heard 3 people talk about it on separate occasions. So my curiosity was definitely peaked. So Friday on the way home from little girls gymnastics I decided to swing in and check it out. It was nothing like I was expecting. There was so much stuff packed...

More Snow! [And Ravelympics]

It is snowing again! This is the 3th snow this year or the 4th if you want to count the last snow day when it snowed in the evening and overnight but didn't really stick. I am going to be honest there are a number of gripers around here but I really love snow. I wish that we got a little more though. This has been a good year for snow, I would rather have a winter of really good snows every few years than get the piddly non-sticking snow every year. This is the view from the front door and here is the view from the kitchen. It was snowing...

Momzilla in the Morning

I have come to realize that I am quite a growly bear first thing in the morning, the person who most experiences this is my daughter. Now she could be jumping all over the bed and singing at the top of her lungs and it wouldn't bother me... However when you start touching me [read: laying, rolling, bouncing or otherwise actively engaging my person] or getting in my face asking my something, it only takes about 6 seconds. Is this unreasonable? To not want to me jostled, sat on or spoken to for at least an hour, more like two, after waking? I mean It takes me 20-30 minutes as it is from the time of waking to actually getting...

Inamorata

I'm BACK! Did you miss me? I hope so because I missed you. In honor of returning to all things Peppermint Knits, I made a treasury. It actually came off the list today, I meant to post this previously. I named it Inamorata, I thought the title was pretty self explanatory...Tomorrow I will hopefully be posting about my Ravelympics projec...
